Bichectomy operation in Barcelona with Birbe Clinic

The Bichat’s Pouch or Buccal Fat Pad, BFP, are bags that are found under the cheeks and, if they are too large, cause the appearance of a too full face on the lower third of the face. For this reason, at Birbe Clinic we offer our patients an effective and restorative buccal fat pad removal or bichectomy operation in Barcelona, which allows us to give back to the face the appearance that the patient desires with a less full lower face.

 

As you can imagine, the aim of a buccal fat pad removal or bichectomy is to eliminate the fatty bags inside the cheeks. This fat gives the face a rounder appearance. For this reason, its removal will not be harmful to the patient and he or she will achieve a more stylized face and better defined cheekbones. 

Bichectomy operation or buccal fat pad removal: how is it performed, and what are the results?

Do you want to know how a buccal fat pad removal bichectomy is performed?

At Birbe Clinic we make a small incision inside the mouth, in the cheek area, under local anesthesia, and the excess fat is removed.  However, these pockets of fat can also be removed using a facelift or during orthognathic surgery. 

This procedure can take about 20 minutes, depending on the case. Although it is a minimally invasive operation, the patient does not have to be hospitalized afterwards. We transform the lower third of the face with  a slimming effect, without any external and visible scars. 

The postoperative period is significant for the patient’s care. You will have to follow a soft diet for about a week, and you will be prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs for a few days. It is a fairly gentle postoperative period, as it does not hurt and only swelling in the facial area may appear, which may last between 3 or 4 days. It is important tohave a good oral hygiene after the operation to avoid infection and avoid smoking.

Is bichectomy surgery for life?

This intervention will not have to be repeated, as happens with other aesthetic treatments, such as Botox or hyaluronic acid. Once the Bichat balls have been removed, they will no longer regrow.

What is the price of buccal fat pad removal?

The closed budget will be obtained after a first visit with our experts, as they must make a diagnosis and decide which treatment will be the most appropriate. To arrange a visit to our clinic, you should contact us via our telephone number, WhatsApp or contact form.

What are the differences between liposuction and bichectomy?

As we have mentioned in this article, a bichectomy is used to remove fat from the cheekbones. As for liposuction, the fat must be removed from the outside using a different technique. How is it done? Well, by aspirating the fat with fine cannulas. Another option and usually better, to define the neck angle and get rid of the double chin is platismaplasty or neck lift, with even more marked results.At Birbe Clinic, we will carry out an assessment of the face and neck to analyze the excess fat in each area of the face and decide which surgery is most suitable for each case. In addition, if there is extra skin, we will carry out a facelift to achieve more effective results.
